Scholastica16 Seems you people like arguments. I thought all these were over by now. Na wa. Any Harvard MBA that is poor (which I still doubt) should not have gone there in the first place. Many ways to make money and even if I have the full capital, I will still go the loan path since the capital can be invested somewhere where the earnings will liquidate the loan. Getting an MBA top school admission is tough and getting the job should be the easier path. The stats show Harvard MBA graduate are 100% employable and I dont why you are stil arguing with that. See link for stats https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings-articles/full-time-mba-rankings-global/harvard-tops-new-qs-global-mba-rankings-2018 The summary of what I am saying is that top schools to an extent make you who you are. If for example, I am to school in the USA, I will never seek admission outside the top 10. Others may prefer the lower schools due to their own reasoning. That's their own cup of tea. For your notice, the best graduates and best paid staffs are from the top schools. 1 Like

The 15 business schools where MBAs earn the highest salaries after graduation Thankfully, you get a pretty good return on that investment. At most top business schools, the average starting salary and bonus for graduates more than covers the cost of the degree. Business Insider used U.S. News' business school ranking to highlight the 15 programs where MBAs earn the highest salaries after graduation.

Scholastica16: You keep running from pillar to post. Let me sound it another time for you 1. A Harvard MBA holder CAN NEVER BE POOR if he chooses any of the lucrative career paths open to him. 2. Your Uber guy story (which is even unverified) does nothing to discredit the lucrative nature of a Harvard MBA. The said person can still quit his business (if he wishes), leverage on his school network and get a well paying job. So I repeat for the umpteenth time, you don't know jack about MBAs and recruitments. It's better you stick to the PhD route you know very well and STFU whenever discussions are made in topics you don't know. 1 Like |

@bigfrancis21 @lagosismyhome I saw a post bigfrancis posted on the previous page abt MBA, if an Mba graduate can't get an HB1 sponsorship for visa then how can someone go about it after graduation. How do u tell or ask the company to sponsor you for visa. i'm asking because i intend to go for an mba degree. i also asked a frnd of mine who is an mba graduate abt the job and all, she said she's working with Apple now for (opt) i think its 1 year right but they are not sponsoring her visa. i need to understand how these things work, please waiting on your response. |

Gifty28: That's a fat lie! Go to LinkedIn, connect with Nigerian /African MBAs in your schools of choice and speak to them. There are several ways (including H1Bs) you can use to get a job after graduating. Also during recruitments there are certain firms that do not sponsor visas. It's advisable you run away from them and don't waste your time joining them. Even in your application essays, some schools reject you if you state that you want to work in a firm that do not sponsor. They know that your goals are unachievable and they will rather allocate your spot to someone whose goal is achievable. You have to do your homework very well, but attending a top ranked program reduces the risk significantly. To reduce your risk, join a top ranked MBA where most of these multinationals hire from. 2 Likes |

Gifty28: Except if this is recent ........I know several MBA that went through H-1B including myself so yes i am very sure it covers MBA as well . Although my time is a while now so might not be current And yes some companies will allow you work under OPT but will not progress to H1B , similarly some companies will sponsor h1B but not progress to Green card . It not an easy journey but many people have made the journey and gotten to the end. You just have to search for those opportunities however limiting it seems . 2 Likes |

EMMAACHILE: As a rule of thumb, thread caution when citing these employability figures. 100% in nature is usually a figment and tool of brand marketing. The reality is often at variance with those stats. But that is not to say that HBS grads do not earn well nor am I against MBAs at all. My position is, the post-life success of MBA grads from top schools is not as sweeping as your link or you are trying to make it look. I can just toss you a few bones that puts my argument into perspective. The odds are, that the folks in HBS are already children of the rich whose parents already own companies or are CEOs of those companies. Therefore, their employment report will already be skewed because they would have gotten said jobs without the MBA. Next, employment reports in themselves do not tell a complete story. Ask yourself how those reports were put together. The simple fact is they were arranged through questionnaires and polls many of which are as simplistic as "are you working post HBS"? and to that end, even the Uber guy I met would have clicked yes. Then, some other % of the HBS entrees are people who already had great jobs and their respective companies opted to pay for the MBA for them. So they already had those jobs before getting into HBS. Lastly, there are people like that uber guy I met who opted for entrepreneurship and may or may not make it because they took a detour that did not yield the financial windfall they desired. In all of these, it is clear that though HBS and other top MBA programs can lay claim to part of the success of their graduates, it is the INDIVIDUALS themselves that make the difference. Which puts paid to the 100% fib of an employment report or the notion that HBS graduates can never be poor. 11 Likes |

Chidinho10: "No Harvard lawyer can be poor if they become counsel to a fortune 500 company". Children of logic, does this mean that ALL Harvard lawyers work in fortune 500 companies? Can a Harvard lawyer work in a fortune 500 company and still be poor? Does earning high translate into never being poor? I told you, you are bandying words you don't even understand. How can I be running in all directions yet you are the one introducing caveats to show a HBS graduate can be broke yet maintaining they can never be? Now you are talking about discrediting the lucrative nature of HBS MBA. Abeg, where did I discredit the lucrative nature of HBS MBA? Can you see, that you are bereft in logical reasoning, cannot read, have no memory and are yet emotional? 10 Likes |

Gifty28: From the list of STEM courses, MBA is not considered as part of STEM given that the field is saturated right now with native American professionals. STEM courses are identified areas in the US economy with dwindling American professionals hence the need to recruit foreign students to fill up these roles. Traditional MBA is not on the list because there are plenty American professionals with an MBA. However if you take specialization in courses such as Data Analytics or Technology, which is STEM recognized then you may be eligible for OPT/H1B visa sponsorship. https://www.ice.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Document/2016/stem-list.pdf Also, according to USCIS website, “If you are currently participating in OPT based on a master’s degree in business administration but you previously received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, you may be able to apply for a STEM OPT extension based on your bachelor’s degree as long as it is from an accredited U.S. college or university and the OPT employment opportunity is directly related to your bachelor’s degree in mathematics”. As for your friend, she most likely got into Apple by specializing in a technology course, hence the reason she may have gotten into Apple which is a Tech company. H1B sponsorship right now is very very tough. Nearly all those I know (F1 students) who went for the recent NSBE job career fair (National Society of Black Engineers) in Philadelphia were rejected for not having permanent residency. Right now, except you are very good at computer programming most STEM companies are not too willing to sponsor on H1B. For STEM international students, the 3-year OPT is a middle-ground for you to work for the company while you sort out your residency. In the past, I have seen where some companies decided to hire a student on H1B but have the student work for them on OPT while the H1B is being processed. This may be applicable to your friend as well. 13 Likes 3 Shares |
